About Katherine
Dr. Katherine Morrissey Stahl helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, and major life changes. She supports concerns related to relationships, intimacy, parenting, and LGBT issues.
She also works with trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, and people facing family problems or attachment struggles. She keeps sessions straightforward and calm. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and practical next steps.
She aims to make it easier to talk about hard feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
Dr. Stahl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, and also holds a CSW credential. She has ten years of experience working in Georgia.
Her background includes helping people manage intense emotions and navigate relationship challenges. In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and offers tools clients can try between meetings. Those tools may include ways to handle strong reactions, improve communication, and pace through big transitions.
Progress is usually steady when steps are small and consistent. She uses plain language and a collaborative approach. Clients can expect short-term skill building and longer-term exploration when that fits their goals.
Dr. Stahl encourages people to name what matters most and to shape therapy around those priorities.

Approaches for managing strong feelings online
Dr. Stahl uses evidence-based techniques to help people manage intense emotions and relationship strain. One common approach focuses on learning concrete coping skills for strong reactions, such as grounding exercises, breathwork, and stepwise behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety. These strategies are practical and aimed at immediate relief when feelings escalate.Another approach centers on improving communication and attachment patterns. That work helps people notice interaction habits, practice clearer requests, and rebuild trust or closeness over time. It can be useful for intimacy issues, relationship conflicts, and family-of-origin concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try a few methods, and adapt what works best. The therapist and client check in together to see what helps and make changes as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets people work face-to-face for deeper conversation. Phone calls are good when bandwidth is low or a focus on voice alone helps. Text and chat can support short check-ins, skill practice, or moments when typing is easier. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family, or travel.
